Mr. 3000 (2004)
6/10
Foul Ball

Warning: Spoilers
There's not a lot if indeed anything new here, a sort of sub-Disney quasi-fantasy throwing a curve at Redemption with side trips into heart of darkness territory and all as subtle as a swastika on a neo-Nazi's shirt. In terms of storyline Bernie Mac plays a slugger with the Milwaukee Brewers who secures his 3000th hit towards the close of the season and promptly walks leaving his team and teammates in the lurch. In the following nine years he parlays his Mr 3000 sobriquet into a chain of cash-cow franchises but this is not enough for an arrogant son of a bitch who wants all the badges and specifically a nod by the Hall of Fame. It then transpires that due to a computer glitch he only actually hit 2997 so at age 47 he attempts a come-back to chase the three elusive extra hits and get back into old flame Angela Basset's pants. There's a twist in case any amoeba with special needs didn't see it coming and the whole thing has a certain faux feelgood quality but don't go out of your way.
